Ombré Princess Cake

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

This post was pre scheduled... right now I should be enjoying the fabulous birthday party for a very special little princess named Annabella! Today she is 5. Her mom, a very good friend of ours asked if I would make her a birthday cake... I knew exactly what I was going to make. Since she planning a princess theme, I thought an ombrécake would be perfect for the occasion. For those of you that haven't heard this term, it meanshaving colours or tones that shade into each other.

So what do you think? Isn't it fabulous?!? I LOVE how it turned out. SO happy, hope the birthday girl loves it as much as I do!

Very Girly! The tiara on top is the perfect keepsake for the birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Annabella!

The cake is about 10 inches high and 7 inches wide. The top layers are butter pecan and the bottom layers are chocolate cake. All covered with a vanilla butter cream icing and finished with fondant. To get the ombré look I started with six equal pieces of white fondant and kept adding more pink to each layer, then gradually introducing more and more purple.

Thanks for stopping by, I have a feeling this won't be my last ombré cake!

Thanks so much Thienly! Awww, I feel the same way about your creations!!! I can't stop looking at them! I was thinking about your Daughter's Princess Party last week and thought that this cake would have been perfect for her party too! Too bad you aren't a little closer :)

Oh, how cute is that?!!! This is just adorable. I found your blog over on the The Things We Find Inside link party and you have definitely gained a new follower. Very nice!!! Can't wait to catch up on more of your posts.

GFC Blog Hopper and new follower. This is an amazing cake! I pinned it too. I never worked with fondant yet. I have only worked with the tips and made a ruffle cake with #104 tip. Not as pretty as this one.

What an incredible cake! It's so beautiful and colourful. I wonder if I could ever make something as special as this cake. One way to find out i guess... Off to the store to purchase more eggs!Bella xx

Thanks so much for coming by Anne, and for following... just came by from your blog! Your cakes are amazing!!! and so are your sugar cookies... I'm going to learn lots from you! Am you newest follower!

Thanks Linda! I did use frosting but only to crumb coat the cake. The ruffles you see are all made out of fondant... it's kind of like a pliable sugar paste. Commonly used on wedding cakes. Happy you like!
